I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreThe film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
View MoreAs somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreThis movie doesn't really stand the the test of time, mainly due to it's slightly sexist approach to the main character, among other things. Fonda may not be the most talented actress but she still has charm to carry the movie by herself. Movie's plot seemed to bounce between scenes without some consistency. Although i'm not if makers of the movie aimed for some sort of psychedelia or surrealism, since the movie was very creative with it's sets and special effects. Overall not a great movie by all odds, but still an interesting glimpse to 60's sci-fi.
View More"Barbarella" is a movie that seems to just have a purpose in mind: follow Jane Fonda's character Barbarella as she changes from one costume to another. And just that. Everything else is an empty excuse for this fashion show.But just in case, let me enlighten the casual reader of this review: Barbarella, after getting naked for no particular reason in the opening credits, gets the mission of finding Durand Durand (yes, he afterwards went on to be a member of a famous music band), who is going around with a dangerous weapon. Barbarella's cool red spaceship crashes and... well, she encounters curiously scantly clad characters while going from one place to the other (and getting her clothes destroyed by all kind of accidents).If this sounds campy as hell, well, kudos, because it is. And when it embraces its campiness, and the silliness of it all, the movie is enjoyable. Jane Fonda plays Barbarella with a glee that is contagious and she is helped by characters as the angel Pygar. Sadly, the movie has little else to offer (apart from the fashion stuff and some psychedelic moments). With no plot, no action, character development or... well, anything, "Barbarella" seems to be a movie to look at, not to view.
View MoreWithout prior knowledge, one scene of this film lets u know ur watching a 60s movie... I've heard of barbarella for years about how ridiculous and head scratching it was but I had no idea what i was getting myself into. It's so weird seeing Fonda sexed up to the tenth degree, don't get me wrong, she looked great as she still does presently. But it jus seems like this movie's (can't speak for the comic since I don't read them) main point was to exploit women (hate to say it). Is the double standard so deep rooted that only womens' nude bodies can be on display? I mean what's wrong with equal exploitation of the sexes? To those that say this should be remade I strongly disagree, with the internet and social media, there's enough irrevent in ur face sexuality out there. My review basically echoes what many have already wrote *MINOR SPOILERS* I do find it funny how duran duran got their name from this (good piece of pop culture history). The dolls and the ski pulling octopus looking creature were so bad they were hilarious. As was the scene with the massive bong with the man in it! Enough can't be said for the scene with the line "when we reach the crescendo you'll die of pleasure", pretty good way to go tho!!
View Moreit was courageous, provocative, strange, fascinating, maybe. it remains provocative, fascinating. and amusing. a cocktail of rock, nudity, psychedelic art, Sci. Fi., eroticism in large slices and bizarre dialogs, chaotic scenes and fake links between the characters. one of lovely films about nothing. like a game of children. not complicated, out of rules, charming for possibilities, eccentricity, for the strange manner to translate reality in original forms.a parody, off course. but, more important, a delight. that status does it a legend despite the insignificant script. and new occasion for discover a Jane Fonda as a flame of a complicated revolution. a film who gives all to the viewer. as a child's game.
